As per the Indonesia Import Data, renewed Covid-19 outbreaks are slowing the economic recovery in the country and putting pressure on fiscal shortfalls. The rise in coal exports of the country in April 2021 from the previous year led by strong Indian demand. Indonesian authorities are expecting a boost in shipments to continue this year helping the country to meet its output target.

The latest Indonesia Export Data shows that Indonesia shipped 33.15 million tons of coal in April, up from 31.61 million tons last year. Indonesian coal exports benefitted from an increase in demand from India on higher coal burn and a growth in the industrial activity compared with same month last year, when nation-wide lockdown was imposed to curb the spread of the dreadful corona virus weakened economic activity.
